NewThis report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. Insects continue to represent significant threats to the production of most, if not all, of our vegetable crops. While multiple approaches are used to manage insect pests, insecticides remain a key component for rapid response when pest populations exceed acceptable levels. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This circular provides a basic summary of the best management practices of integrated mosquito management. These practices begin with education and communication and progress through surveillance, source reduction, larviciding, and adulticiding. The circular presents guidelines that communities can use to help develop the most effective mosquito management program possible with the resources available. Using these practices will help to minimize pesticide exposure to pollinators and other non-target pests.
